Brown’s palatial home in Mobberley, Cheshire, is crammed with “intelligent” technology which could ­disrupt signals at the world-famous observatory.

The former Manchester United star has had to give assurances he will not hamper research at Jodrell Bank, the location for this week’s BBC2 Stargazing Live with Brian Cox and Dara O’Briain.

Brown, 32, has been ordered to provide details of internal insulation to minimise electro-magnetic interference from automated controls for ­everything from the blinds, ­heating, and music to the garden’s sprinkler systems.

A source close to the footballer said: “The property is going to be absolutely stunning but it falls within the consultation zone for Jodrell Bank, which means there are special planning rules.

“Wes has fully co-operated and complied with the regulations to the letter.

“There will be miles and miles of wiring which will be used to control everything. But the insulation will ensure that there is no interference with any space signals.”

Dad-of-three Brown’s mansion, set in 180 acres, will include a beauty ­salon for wife Leanne, 34, a cinema room, soundproof studio and steam rooms.
